Sweet Surrender


If you let yourself be absorbed completely, if you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh


Have I ever left for a vacation or another trip with only a few pieces of luggage and found that when I returned home, I had far more than what I had originally taken with me?
The same may be true of my life experiences.  I start a new day or a new relationship with a positive outlook, only to find that as I continue on, I take on excess emotional baggage that weighs me down.

I can lighten my load by releasing the burden of negative memories and emotions in sweet surrender.  In their place, I welcome golden thoughts of the peace and love that can only come from God.  Because I desire to have more of God in my life, I radiate more of the spirit of God within me out into my world.


In sweet surrender, I release all into God's care.
